Pray this Lazaroo in honest self-assessment:

“These people are…faultfinders…”
(Jude 1:16)

Okay, Jesus –

When my job is quality control
I have to find and report every fault! 😉

But when it comes to my relationships with others?

What they need most from me is encouragement
not relentless criticism.

How often do Your people fall short because of discouragement –

especially when somebody comes along
and nitpicks them to death?

Why would I ever do that?

Maybe because I’d rather find fault in others
than in myself.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“God…led you in the way…”
(Jeremiah 2:17)

I spend a lot of time begging You to lead me, Jesus

while wondering how I got where I am.

Maybe because things didn’t turn out the way I had hoped.

Maybe because of the challenges I face every day.

I think to myself, “Did I miss Your voice, LORD?”

But when I get far enough out and look back
I realize with amazement:

You led me every step of the way.
